Attending class

Preparing for Class

We will be sending you an email in the coming weeks which will assign you to your class and to give you other essential information about attending your class. This is a unique opportunity to participate in the active learning filled, seminar-style class that defines the Minerva academic experience.  We ask that you arrive to class the same way that Minerva students do: prepared. The brief readings below will help you to understand the topics that will be covered in seminar. You should complete these readings before Ascent programming starts.

Joining Forum

You will also be receiving an email with the subject line “Set up your Forum Account."  Please follow the directions in this email to log in and set your password. We ask that you do this from the same computer you plan to take the class on to test your bandwidth and camera.
